Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device is provided with a TFT substrate 10, a CF substrate 20, spacer beads 31, and liquid crystal 32. The TFT substrate 10 and the CF substrate 20 are assembled in parallel. The spacer beads 31 hold the two substrates 10, 20 at a desired distance. The liquid crystal 32 is sealed between the two substrates 10, 20. Protrusions 18 are formed on an opposing surface to the CF substrate 20 of the TFT substrate 10. The protrusions 18 each enclose whole peripheries of respective distribution areas 17 arranged for disposing the spacer beads 31 therein. Therefore, when ink containing the spacer beads 31 is applied into the distribution area 17, the spacer beads do not move out of the distribution area 17. The spacer beads 31 are thus reliably disposed in the distribution area 17.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a liquid crystal panel capable of repairing a defective portion of an alignment film more easily. Provided is a method for producing a liquid crystal panel, including the step of repairing a defective portion 50 of an alignment film 30 formed on a substrate 12 by use of a repair stamp 60 having repair ink 61 attached thereto. The step of repairing includes step (a) of locating the repair stamp 60 in a zone (repair zone) 55 including the defective portion 50; step (b) of moving the repair stamp 60 from the position (60a) at which the repair stamp 60 has been located in step (a); and step (c) of moving the repair stamp 60 again from a position (60b) to which the repair stamp 60 has been moved in step (b) to the position (60a) at which the repair stamp 60 was located in step (a).
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for producing a wearing article of the present invention includes supplying an elastic member; stretching the elastic member; placing the stretched elastic member so that the elastic member spreads across a plurality of first webs divided in a transport direction; making a part of a second web loose in the transport direction while transporting the second web, thereby forming a loose portion; placing the first web, on which the elastic member is disposed, on non-loose portion before and after the loose portion of the second web; and cutting the elastic member between adjacent first webs of the plurality of first webs.
Abstract:
This invention makes it possible for a user to know the characteristics of a quantization table used for image compression. An apparatus and method are provided wherein image data compression software displays the compressed image data (expanded image data) according to the JPEG method expanded by a JPEG expansion unit on a display unit 20 through an image display IF 18. Moreover, the image data compression software 5 reflects all values of n×n quantization levels included in a quantization table (first quantization table) supplied from a block decoding section used to generate input JPEG data and displays quantization index value to be indexed (first quantization index value before changed) on the display unit 20.
Abstract:
A slider is slightly moved in a direction in which both side surfaces of the slider come in contact with inclined surfaces of impact mitigating parts of neighboring contact strip pieces. For this reason, the inclined surface of the impact mitigating part of the contact strip piece which the slider approaches is relatively downwardly slid with respect to one side surface of the slider. In addition, the inclined surface of the impact mitigating part of the contact strip piece from which the slider moves away is relatively upwardly slid with respect to the other side surface of the slider. As a result, since an impact generated between the contact strip piece and the slider is mitigated by the impact mitigating part without fitting the slider into a stepped section between the neighboring contact strip pieces, the slider is smoothly transferred from the one contact strip piece of the neighboring contact strip pieces to the other contact strip piece.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a web processing device, comprising a plurality of pads Pi revolving around a axis X1, a cutter 30 for cutting a continuous web W, and a plurality of anvils Ai for receiving the cutter 30. The pads Pi receive the continuous web W, and the cutter 30 cuts the continuous web W into a cut-off web W2 together with the anvil Ai positioned at a first relative level L1. The pad Pi revolves around the axis X1 while changing an attitude of the pad Pi by turning about a line extending from the first axis toward the pad Pi, thereby carrying the cut-off web W2 while changing an attitude of the cut-off web W2. When the pad Pi changes its attitude, the anvil Ai relatively moves to a second relative level L2 so as not to hinder the pad Pi changing its attitude.
